[quote]I am not an elitist but i do believe that one player is better than another based entirely on his gear. [/quote] This one statement alone shows how much of an elitist you truly are.. If you're basing a person skills purely based on their gear says a lot about your perception of other Destiny players. And if 5 318+ guardians could not adjust for having the 309 in their group, then that goes along way in showing their skill levels. Elitism is a problem in Destiny and you're a part of it.
